Blackberries are pretty rampant here in the UK. Always wondered why you guys didn't have it- Seems they were banned in the US until recently due to some fungus.

Just to be clear, you mean blackcurrants, yes? Blackberry means something quite different, at least over here.

No I meant blackberries. We have both over here commercially available.

Ok, well I assure you, blackberries are, and never were banned in America. Blackcurrants were.

Yeah, I pick some every year. Also cherry plums grow quite a bit near me, along with some apple trees and loads of sloes.
